Games like Longshots

Football quizzes where the obvious answer is the worst answer.

Longshots (longshots.app) is a daily football quiz that launched in November 2026. Seven questions, 25 seconds each, and any correct answer counts. The obvious answer is a tap-in. The more obscure your answer, the further out you score from. These four work the same way, or the opposite way, and they reset at midnight UK.

How Longshot plays

The seven questions stay hidden until you kick off. Each one is a link: played for two clubs, or played for a club and came from a given country. Name any player who fits. Distance comes from how well known he is, from top-flight and European appearances, so 6 m is the name everyone says and 88 m is the one nobody remembers.

A name that doesn't fit gets one VAR check per shot: no goal, one retake while the clock is still running. Get it wrong again, or run out of time, and the shot goes wide. Score 100 m or more to keep your streak. At full time every goal is drawn on a shot map from where it was struck.

Duel a mate

Hit Challenge at full time and send the link. Your mate plays the same seven shots with your distance shown on every one, and the match report says who won more shots.

If you want more than one a day

Every past Longshot is in the archive, and practice mode deals seven new shots at the level you pick. Only today's counts towards your streak.
